    Found this company after googling and searching for discovery flights. This company caught my eye because of the beautiful planes they had to offer. I called several other companies that offered the same services but Calair was the only one to respond. So of course I was gonna go with them. Finding the suite was kind of tricky , it was really a matter of navigating upstairs to get to it. Once inside, we were greeted by our pilot Yoran! He was really nice, he asked us a few questions and went out to the plane. He proceeded to show us around the plane, got some great pics in and explained how things will work once we got into the plane. The take off was really smooth, it was a bit nerve racking because small planes are exactly the most comfortable. We toured the whole South Bay Area, flew along the beach. It was such a beautiful view .Yoran made it a great experience, the inside of the plane was beautiful, with an updated system and clean interior. The landing was also very smooth, that is always the worse part for me. Thank you for the amazing experience, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking.

    I was looking to upgrade airplanes and found Cal Air at HHR to be exactly what I wanted. Jonathan was helpful in getting me started with Mike Whitlow. I enjoyed learning the new airplane with Mike and appreciate that you save money by using the Sim BEFORE getting into the airplane. The airplanes themselves are great. They recently got a brand new SR20 and now are getting another one. Scheduling online is easy. I look forward to continuing to fly with them for the foreseeable future.

    Excellent experience! Having flown at several flight schools and flying clubs while earning my…read morePrivate Pilot license, I've learned [the hard way] what to watch out for (good and bad), and I had a good vibe about Beach Cities from the first time I walked into their office, to work on my multi-engine add-on pilot rating. Everyone I've interacted with there is friendly and welcoming and has been patient with my asking a million questions, as I tend to do! Many of their students have gone on to fly for the airlines, and most of BCAA's instructors were students at the school that were hand-picked to teach for them. Plenty of flight schools have big shiny signs and posh offices and are eager to get you to lock in and put down a ton of money buying overpriced block time, then they show no interest in the student's success, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Beach Cities runs a good fleet of well-maintained aircraft that they rent out by the hour, that could probably use a little paint work here or there, but all have recently-renovated engines and updated avionics, from what I've seen, and a very experienced staff that always makes me feel like they genuinely care about safety, professionalism, and about helping their students meet their goals. Thank you BCAA!

    Well. That was WELL worth the money. I honestly thought it was a steal of a deal if you ask me…read more Mike and his team were more than I could have asked for - in so many ways. His training, explaining and safety prep was comforting. He obviously knows his stuff and has been doing this for a very very long time. Just the interaction and education would have been enough for me - throw in the multiple 5-gs and every maneuver that plane was capable of - FIVE STARS from me!! I WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN!! Thank you for making me feel alive, it was such a blessing. Ps. Girls, this isn't only for guys. Get out there and DO IT!!!!! We all know you want to

How often do you have the opportunity to board a small open hangar craft and feel the wind blow by you as you soar over the world beneath you?! Not often at all. Mike was our pilot. He must be one of the friendliest guys I've ever encountered in quite some time. He gave us some nifty leather caps and a mic set so we could talk and hear from each other throughout the flight. You can tell Mike really gets a kick out of the joy others experience through flying with him. What I appreciated the most about this experience was how the plane was constructed. The biplane allowed my girlfriend and I to experience the whole flight together. I hiiiighly recommend giving Skythrills a try. Treat yo self!!!!!!

We had to reschedule once, due to bad weather, but loved the fact that Simon was very concerned for our safety AND that we got bang for our buck. Once we rescheduled, it was an amazing experience. I had only been on one other helicopter ride and no safety tips. But first thing we did with Simon was review what to do if something should happen. Safety first and so appreciated. And like all the other reviews, it was 5 star. Interesting, fun, exciting and seriously it felt like 5 minutes and we can't wait to go again! If you're looking for a great gift for a loved one and want 5 star service and a 5 star experience, go with Advanced Flight! You will NOT be disappointed and really, with all the disappointments that surround us these days, isn't it reassuring to know that when you go on a helicopter ride around the city you WON'T be disappointed?
